Atlona, a Panduit company, has announced the return of Roger Takacs as strategic account manager, a newly developed position that crosses several key business areas. Reporting to Jamey Swigert, director of AV sales and business development, Takacs will focus on sales, management and customer engagement initiatives designed to bring Atlona closer to its partners and end users.
“Panduit’s acquisition of Atlona has introduced the company to an entirely new base of customers, including consultants and end users that are less familiar with the AV side of the business,” says Takacs.
“At the same time, AV integrators are increasingly finding jobs that take them deeper into the network infrastructure. It is exciting to work with a broader customer base and communicate how one company can help them expand their businesses and leverage our combined technical resources.”
Takac’s previous employment with Atlona began in 2013 as national sales manager, where he helped successfully launch Atlona’s commercial AV business. This initiative included Atlona’s HDVS family, a broad product range introduced to smooth the transition from analog to digital in schools and businesses. His vision was so successful that the HDVS line remains alive today, with evolution into new areas such as PTZ cameras and soft codec conferencing. While in this position, Roger also built a dedicated team of regional sales managers to better serve customers in every U.S. region, and worked closely with major distributors and manufacturer representatives throughout North America.
